How do you stop dogs casting?

Answer 1

If by casting you mean running from left to right, and running to either side over some side, I would use that natural casting for search work Casualty detection or putting up game. that casting is something we sometimes have to work hard to get a dog to do, so if it does it naturally then use it to work the dog. To stop it, the second, yes the very second you let him off, turn you back on him and walk away, in the opposite direction, as soon as he catches you up turn around and walk away again, and keep that up, so you become the leader and he becomes the follower, DO NOT SHOUT his name or call him otherwise you become a lighthouse and he will know where you are all the time, keep quiet, make him the apprehensive one not you as I guess you are at the moment, make him feel lost, walk away every time he starts to feel comfortable in the knowledge that you are there. Use fear, in other words make him think you are discarding him from your pack, no (well there are a few, Cats being one) like to be thrown out of the pack, they are uncomfortable on their own vulnerable and libel to get attacked. They all feel more comfortable in a pack, and the stronger the pack leader the happier they feel.
